Nick Butcher

Nicholas Butcher ran the family restaurant in Chichester,Sussex for five years before moving permanently to Spain in 1984.
Here he combines language teaching with writing,
and he is also involved with the local Alminares choir.

His first book, The Spanish Kitchen, was published in 1990. The Festive Food of Spain followed a year later, and was reissued this year.

Nicholas Butcher is recording a series of episodes about the Fiestas in Spain and related food, to be broadcast
on RSA 99.1 fm regularly.

You can find the texts and the original recordings from the links below. As a surprise, you might even find the odd recipe to accompany some episodes.
